Maintenance of IEEE standards
Standards life cycle (5-year review) • Sponsor needs to take a maintenance action on a
standard within five years of its IEEE-SA Standards Board approval date.
• A maintenance action on an active standard are,• Revise a standard by submitting a PAR; • Reaffirm a standard by initiating reaffirmation ballot;• Withdraw a standard (administratively or withdrawal
ballot); or• Stabilize a standard by initiate stabilization ballot
• If no action are made at the end of a maintenance cycle, RevCom will make a default recommendation of withdrawal to IEEE-SA Standards Board

Maintenance of IEEE standards : Reaffirmation Process
• Must be approved by at least 75% ballot group or reaffirmation ballot fails;
• The Sponsor shall review and respond to all ballot comments;
• Affirmative vote with comments• Provide comment response to show consideration. • Proceed with reaffirmation of standard
• Disapprove vote with comments• Determine if the technical comment is actual
significant technical error or omission. If so, may need to revise the standard.
• Provide response to show consideration and conduct recirculation.
• Submit to RevCom

Maintenance of IEEE standards : Proposed Change
•Issues/concerns on Reaffirmation• Revisions PARs are not always initiated to resolve issues
raised during Reaffirmation• Reaffirmation ballots (and heavy workloads) have led to
cursory voting as many voters cast default 'yes' votes without really reviewing the standard(s);
•New proposal on Reaffirmation & Stabilization• Eliminate 'Reaffirmation' and 'Stabilization' process• Complete a Revision on a maintained standard every 10
years • Standard is administratively withdrawn at the 10 year
mark, if no action from the sponsor
